The Shield-maiden · Constellations · Slave Pits

The shield-maiden is a very resistant combatant that can parry incoming blows while she waits for the right moment to strike.

This constellation favours heavily the use of a shield in the off-hand; the main weapon can be a good damage dealer, like the mace. You want to parry as much and perfectly as possible, trying to trigger 'Stunning Block' or an opening for 'Destabilizing Reply' when your risposte benefits from the ready buff. Use the surge option 'Impending Aggression' for a grace period of even more advantage.
